THORNS OF THE CARRION LYRICS

1. Everstill Cry (The Tears That Flood Tomorrow)

[Instrumental]

2. Images Within The Tides Of Tranquillity

The Skies of dark gray have vanished from my view
The touch of her warm embrace has left many tears
To be deprived is to remember the pain of one
This winter of black is the harbinger of my fear

With each passing day my love for life withers away
The face of joy I once wore is now only a dream

And with a kiss the darkness began to seal
the bitterness and the joy. (I now know)
My sadness birthed this pain

And with a sigh, the walls of my sanity
collapsed within and without(I now see)
My life will fade away
This is forever

This facade of fading happiness has been shattered
Sense the moon rising over my plains of despair, Eternal
I shall rest in this dead garden decorated with tombs
And await for her arrival from behind the black sun

At last the souls in the candle fade
And my eyes shall rest forever
With the portrait of the shade
Carved deep in my dying soul

3. The Abide Of The Undead Knights

[Instrumental]

4. As Shadows Away The Soul

Thy kingdom has been lost under the sword
The trials of my defeat have cast me away
The dark seas of despair now hold my shame
As thy tomb is sealed the waters flood with grief

As thy tomb is sealed the waters flood with grief
With each passing tide the sadness destroys my faith
I foresee the dawn just beyond the barren plains
Though my sight is gone the sun will welcome me

Through the darkness the fragments descend
Fragile glimmering shards from on high above
My soul bound by the dead of natures hold
Forever caressed by the stillness
That decays the unloved (Which is I)
Consumed by this undying sadness
Take away this cold form of death

No more shall blood flow through these veins
Now lost shifting through the red waves
Take my lifeless form and end my bell
For thy kingdom is no more
My eyes are closed I cannot see
This world of death has conquered me
My eyes are closed I cannot see
Take away the pain of this world

The shades of black now turn to gray
The pulse of his sorrow now fades
Take my madid world of selfless lies
No more love for this world
"As shadows asway the soul...
I realize I am finally at peace"

5. Portrait Of The Impious

[Instrumental]

6. On Watchers From Towers Above

O'er shores of silence
Beyond the sands
Of time and hallowed ways
I now know the truth

O' impious ones of 'God'
Your ways are denial
For the fears of life
And the embrace of death

This world is of those that follow
The Mays of the past that are gone
There is no 'God' only the misery of life
This sorrow is all there will ever be

For me there is no happiness in this world
Only the pain of knowing my fate
To meet the black is to know defeat
For my memories are all I have

7. Mourners At The Edge Of Black Rain

[Instrumental]

8. When The Sunlight Fades

Behold the day That has fallen dark
Lament the passing of youth and all it's joys
Behold the cross Ideas he has hidden behind
Witness his contempt for his existence and his 'God'

When will the sunlight fade
Unleashing death to resolve his pain
For no longer can he suffer
In this hell he has known

Take his soul far away from the sadness of this world

Release unto thee
The wrath of his ills
To heal and receive
The pain he has endured

Willingly I accept
In spite of my own life
For to watch him die
Is to truly know hate

Life for this young man was but a dream in a fading memory
Filled with hopeful embrace for new discoveries
But when his fate was sealed another dream was sadly destroyed

Give unto thee
The power to recreate
The beginnings of his life
And the threads of his humanity

For I would raze
His existence of all fear
And condemn his 'God'
To the life he has suffered through

Take his soul away from the sorrow of this world

9. A Shade Of Sorrow (Into Forever)

[instrumental]
